I would like to get some technical examples of EQ algorithm differences. I understand compression algorithms. These can be drastically different. How one digital EQ is actually better then another gets fuzzy. I'm not talking about features or interface but audio integrity.

The Digital EQ variables that i am aware of are
Internal resolution
Oversampling
frequency response
filter slope / Q
& phase

I have been able to recreate the the slope, phase, & sonic characteristic of the Duende & CSP with built in native EQ . Or with any fully variable parametric EQ for that matter.
As i said compressors are a different story. Duendes program dependent comp is it's own beast

Besides linear phase, internal bit resolution, or to free cpu with external DSP i'm now questioning why anyone needs anything but there native EQ.
I can't find technical reasons.
Please inform.
